Rahul needs a better team of advisers.

          If we go through actions & campaign  trail of Rahul Gandhi following strategies emerge which he has adopted to counter Modi & BJP -

1.Present self as a different breed than the regular Congressmen eager to get rid  of corruption & power brokers.
2.Present self as a champion of downtrodden ,dalits & muslims.
3.Present himself as a torch bearer of Nehru-Gandhi family which has been wronged at the hands of terrorism despite of all the sacrifices.
3.Take credit for the schemes like MGNREGA, Food Security Bill which are considered as game changer by the Congress thinktank.
4.Portray BJP  as communal,pro-rich & pro-corporate,anti poor,anti muslim.
5.Portray Modi as an authoritarian,communal,pro-rich & pro-corporate,  a boasting person quoting exaggerated progress in Gujarat, wrongly  presenting himself as a person who can solve all the problems of the country .
6.Presenting  mother Soniya as a person dying to do something concrete for the downtrodden despite of her health problems and so much concerned regarding the same that she is  driven to tears due to this. Here it has to be remembered that this trend was started by Salman Khurshid when he portrayed Soniya as full of tears for Muslim youth who had to go through Batla encounter.
7.Present Nehru -Gandhi family including self as the one which may again become victim of terrorism.

          Simaltaneously it also becomes clear that Rahul consideres poors as the main congress constituency which could be won over by  doles like  food security bill & passing on subsidies into their account.

         Rahul should do some simple arithmetic to understand crux of the electoral politics. In any election committed voters don't make or mar a Government.In any case they are committed voters who vote for a particular party and would be voting for the same come what may.It is the floating voters who  play a greater role in formation of a Govt. as they shift their votes from one party to the other. Anti incumbency factor,dissatisfaction with the performance of a Govt.,promises by the other party and even caste and religion play here their role, and due to any of, or a combination of these reasons a floating voter decides in  favour of voting for a  new party ditching the old one he voted for.

          Image of the present P.M. has been sullied by the corruption charges against the Govt. and he is considered as a non-performer & dull. Modi has been taking advantage of this image of the Govt. and hammering his points well with the public.It would have been of great help to the Congress if it had chosen someone  who is performance oriented and looks to be full of energy for the prime job .In the present scenario it would be tough for the Congress to get votes of floating voters. Despite of all the propaganda against Modi,he is being considered as a performer and a person with promises and people are becoming ready to ignore authoritarian & communal image of Modi  giving him benefit of doubt as  they expect him to perform. Due to this Modi has has been  able to touch a chord with the middle classes and young voters. Modi has evolved himself- he has neither talked about Ram Mandir nor about article 370, rather he talks about development.

         Modi has  talked negatively about the P M ,Nehru Gandhi family , Congress and Congress rule but at the same time he lays down a road map of development before his audience.Modi is specially cautious when addressing young generation, economic,commerce,industrial & business forums. In front of them he talks only of economics & development. His negative & satirical  barbs are reserved for general public only.

         Under these circumstances Modi can't be countered by the present negative & emotive strategy  adopted by Rahul. Rather he has to explain to the public if voted to power what Congress plans to do in the next five years, what will be the roadmap of the future Congress Govt. , how Congress plans to improve upon its mistakes or the arena where the performance has been lacklusture and most important of all whether the Govt. will be led by a dynamic personality determined to mitigate woes  of public & nation and usher in a performance oriented regime with an environment of hope.Instead of reminding the public about tears Rahul should talk tough for the nation .Politics is not a tearjerker Indian movie ,it is a grand job of nation building.Certainly Rahul  is in need of a better team of advisers.
